Jeremiah 48:39-44

39They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.1

40For thus saith Yhwh; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

41Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.2

42And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Yhwh.

43Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Yhwh.

44He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Yhwh.
